If you flip open a current dictionary, you'll find two primary definitions of the word "server." The first refers to people and objects: A server is a thing or individual who "provides a service or commodity, in particular." In the United States and Canada, "server" also is used more specifically for a waiter or waitress in a restaurant. A server assists with the Eucharist in Christian religious practice, and a sideboard or stand where food is placed is also a server.
